    “Yeah. Sure. ‘Operation Paperclip’ worked out Fantastic for America and Americans. We are paying for that naïveté to this very day,” the user wrote.

    Umm… what?

    Ignoring the fact that most if not all of them were full-blown card carrying Nazis, those guys kept the US steadily ahead of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and they got us to the Moon.

    What the actual fuck could this guy be talking about?

      They don’t have any actual thoughts, just predispositions that get watered by their media to grow into weeds of incomprehensible hate.

      After the war ended, we were snatching up kraut scientists like hot cakes. You don’t believe me? Walk into NASA sometime and yell “Heil Hitler”, WOOP, they all jump straight up!

          It’s a reference to Archer. Which was referencing operation paperclip.

      Well he might be worried about Nazis in America, but uh that Venn diagram has very little overlap.

      Ignoring the fact that most if not all of them were full-blown card carrying Nazis

      And what is it that put America in the forefront of the nuclear nations? And what is it that will make it possible to spend twenty billion dollars of your money to put some clown on the moon? Well, it was good old American know how, that’s what, as provided by good old Americans like Dr. Wernher von Braun!

      Gather 'round while I sing you of Wernher von Braun,
      A man whose allegiance
      Is ruled by expedience.
      Call him a Nazi, he won’t even frown,
      "Ha, Nazi, Schmazi, " says Wernher von Braun.

      Don’t say that he’s hypocritical,
      Say rather that he’s apolitical.
      "Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down?
      That’s not my department, " says Wernher von Braun.

      Some have harsh words for this man of renown,
      But some think our attitude
      Should be one of gratitude,
      Like the widows and cripples in old London town,
      Who owe their large pensions to Wernher von Braun.

      You too may be a big hero,
      Once you’ve learned to count backwards to zero.
      "In German oder English I know how to count down,
      Und I’m learning Chinese!" says Wernher von Braun.
